Following nine years and seven pictures, Harry Potter's record breaking film series is coming to and end.
Marked by a dark and serious tone is the first installment of JK Rowling's seventh and final Harry Potter's book adaptation. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) embark on a dangerous mission to stop the takeover of the forces of evil. Obliterating ties with their families and, far from the safety of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the three try to destroy the Horcruxes, the artifacts that give immortality to their sinister archnemesis Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), and to find the Deathly Hallows: an invincible Elder Wand, a Resurrecting Stone, and an Invisibility Cloak.
Compared to previous installments, this is the scariest of the series, featuring among others Lord Voldemort's most loyal and pure evil Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), and vivid closeup images of the enormous snake Nagini. However, the feature is also interspersed with occasional levity such as when Hermione and Harry dance inside their protective tent. The relationship among the three main characters takes center stage, bringing into focus its young stars' evolution into mature actors.
Through the expert direction of David Yates, with Eduardo Serra's striking cinematography, Alexandre Desplat's score, as well as the great special effects and visually impressive sets, the feature leads to the most anticipated, final chapter of this enchanting and entertaining world: the final battle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, set for release Summer 2011.
